“The event will be called the Fishing Market and as the name suggests, it’s related to fishing, fish pond and fishes. It’s going to be exciting,” said the head of GenPI Lombok Sumbawa, Jhe Ipul.
“Just wait for the D-Day, the event will be Instagrammable, we will provide plenty of selfie spots and many varieties of dishes offered [for visitors]. It will be authentic and educational,” Jhe added.

The Fishing Market event is said to be in line with the Tourism Ministry’s Pentahelix (Academic, Business, Community, Government and Media) approach.
GenPI NTB was the first GenPI that was established to promote halal tourism, or family tourism, in NTB.
Through their hard work, Lombok managed to bring home plenty of awards from World Halal Tourism Awards for the past two years.
The number of market-themed tourism events currently being prepared is skyrocketing. They aim to improve the competitive advantage of each destination.
“We always combine nature, with culture and man-made tourism,” said national GenPI coordinator Mansyur Ebo.
Additionally, similar weekly-market events like the Karetan Market will be held in several places in Indonesia such as Musi River in South Sumatra, Bantul in Yogyakarta, Aceh, Bandung and Padang. (asw)
